Brutus made a political statement by taking Porcia, Cato’s daughter, as his new wife. Servilia did not get on with her. Brutus joined the conspiracy led by C. Cassius and D. Brutus.

Cato, who despite his juniority had political influence, divorced his wife, Marcia, so that she could marry Hortensius. Little is known of Servilia’s own activities during the 50s, though evidence on politics is rich. In early summer 51 she was supporting Ser. Sulpicius as a suitor for Tullia.

A family council at Antium in early June decided that they would leave. Servilia promised to get the grain-commission dropped from the decree. Planning for the games (ludi Apollinares) to be held in Brutus’s absence involved Atticus and Servilia. The games were a qualified success.

In private law, paternal power was important. Marriages between two citizens were intended for the production of children and founded on consent.
